Patent CA-2212558-A1 (CA)
Title: Radiation detector assembly and method with discrimination between vibration and radiation induced events
Inventor: KIMMICH KEVIN D
IPC: G01T1/20
Filed: 1997-08-05
Abstract: A well logging instrument and method that remove vibration induced noise from the output of a detector including a scintillation crystal.  The invention is based on a realization that pulses induced by vibration during MWD operations are characteristically periodic, whereas pulses generated down hole by gamma rays occur at random intervals and are characteristically non-periodic.  The instrument and method involve positioning a scintillation crystal package in the high vibration environment for interaction with incident radiation, using a light sensing device to convert photons received from the scintillation crystal package into an electrical signal which over time is composed of radiation induced events that are non-periodic and vibration induced events that are periodic, distinguishing the periodic events using a time history of the electrical signal, and removing the periodic events from the electrical signal to provide a corrected electrical signal from which vibration induced components have been removed.  Also disclosed is a method for using the information gathered for vibration induced events to give an indication of the remaining lifetime of the scintillation crystal.

Title: Dual channel fm receiver with on demand information services
Inventor: DIMITRIADIS DIMITRI
IPC: H04B1/16
Filed: 1996-02-29
Abstract: Information services on demand by user allows a user in a one-way communication paging system to obtain on a limited basis information service items without interacting directly with the paging system to demand transmission thereof. The system provides information services in separate transmission channels. In each transmission channel including information service items, indicia thereinindicates categories of information items available therein. A remote information terminal (106), in response to user demand for a given category of information service (306), seeks information service items in that category by monitoring transmission channels and comparing information service indicia therein to the demanded information service. The user need not interact directly with the paging system to obtain information service items on a limited basis.

Title: Article carrier with reinforced handle
Inventor: HARRIS RANDALL LEE
IPC: B65D71/00
Filed: 1996-11-22
Abstract: A carrier (10) for bottles. The handle area (22 24) of the top panel (14) is reinforced by a strap (26) connected at its ends to a dust flap (54, 62) in each end panel. The strap (26) is adhered to the top panel (14) and portion of the upper end panel flaps (18), while the portions extending to the dust flaps (54, 62) comprise gusset webs (79, 81).
